Immigration

The 9th District of Illinois is a melting pot for immigrants.  New Americans from all over the world are coming to live in the 9th District.  Our local authorities need to collaborate and work along side the USCIS to ensure that everyone living in the district is legal and registered.

Every immigrant living in the United States must be here legally. To do this, we must consider some form of Immigration Reform for illegal aliens:

  • Illegal immigrants living in the United States will be given the ability to register with their local officials.
     
  • Illegal immigrants who register will pay a $1,000 fine. They will also be required to complete a 6 month course in learning how to read, speak, and write English. In addition. they will learn about the way in which our governments operate and pay back 6 months of community service at the discretion of local officials.
     
  • Once all prerequisites have been met, they will be allowed to file for legal residency and then follow the protocols on becoming a legal alien and naturalized citizen.

We need to implement a system that closely monitors who employers hire and provide them with tools to better screen potential employees.  Penalties and fines to employers who hire illegal aliens might be a step in the right direction in the 'weeding out' process.

Our border patrol may be a dead issue but it continues to come up time and time again.  We must take desperate measures to ensure that our borders are safe and secure.  We need to prevent and deter drug smugglers from entering our country's borders and our neighborhood's borders.
